Just make sure you don't accidentally swap the CAN wires or purchase for the wrong series.

or 2. Use the JB4 tune : ~600us$ I must admit you made a bad decision mounting the pipe without checking the side effects, but F that and get on with one of the above. I you mounted the dp only for the sound then go for the CEL-FIX. /Krelle

They will void warranty, the code is obviously 02 sensors based, nothing to worry about. Just get a jB4 to auto clear the codes.

You can go to the dealer with downpipes. I did it all the time with the X5M. Just don't draw attention to the mods, especially ones like catless downpipes which are 100% illegal.

They will make a note of those downpipes 99%, and once something huge fails i.e. transmission/ engine then dont expect to be covered under warranty.

Other dealers may not be so mod friendly and may make a big deal out of it. Just remember, the law is on your side (Magnusson Moss Act), as long as you stay legal. They have to prove your mods directly caused a problem before they can refuse warranty coverage. You break the law and remove emissions equipment, all bets are off. You've broken Federal law and nothing can save you. |
